The only thing I saw on the news about Pawleys Island is that they have lost cell phone service. I hope we will see more details, and hopefully good information. MaryL I checked the Dataw Island website. Power was still out on the entire island as of yesterday afternoon. Evacuated residents are not being allowed back into the local county by authorities for safety reasons. The island's roads and many driveways are blocked by downed trees and debris. A number of homes sustained damage from fallen trees as well. Fortunately there seems to be little flooding in buildings. If Jill and Buffy did stay in place there is possibly no access to the internet at this time. Hoping that everyone is safe! Gennie I just looked at the website (www.dataw.com), and there is a LOT of damage there. I don't have Jill's address to see if her home is one of those shown with damage. I don't see any pictures of Jill's house (445 Bb Sams Drive) on this website, but there are addresses very close to it. I hope she did not suffer any damage (or minimal, at least). It could be some time before she has power even if her house did not suffer any damage. I went without power for 7 days twice from the outer edge of hurricanes (East Texas). It was very uncomfortable because it was hot and humid. I had some battery-powered fans, and they were a great help. They were not big enough to cool a whole room, but I set them on a table and let them blow directly on me. MaryL Yes, we just got a supply of those little 5" jobs. But I still want to get some bigger ones even though they take 8 D batteries. Hopefully Jill knows about those and has a few around. This was my favorite of the battery-powered fans. It requires 8 D batteries, but it lasts a long time (much longer than the small ones that use AA batteries). https://smile.amazon.com/O2COOL%C2%A...s=portable+fan This one only needs two D batteries--not as good as the first one I listed but not bad considering the small size. https://smile.amazon.com/O2COOL-5-In...y+powered+fans All of them were a big help when I was without power (air conditioning) for a number of days in hot humid weather. MaryL We got the 5" ones that take two D cells. And we put them away for the next hurricane. |
